Talented young chef Cesar Troisgros.
Located in Roanne, a small town some 90 kilometres west of Lyon on the frontiers of Burgundy, Maison Troisgros specialises in French cuisine and serves fine Burgundy wines. The restaurant has held three Michelin stars since 1968 and was named the "Best French Restaurant in the World" by Gault Millau guide.
The Troisgros is a family of French restaurateurs, with Jean and Pierre Troisgros playing a significant role in the history of French cuisine since 1957. Both became world famous for their development of the haute cuisine.
Pierre's son, Michel Troisgros, picked up the reins in the late '80s. Though very much grounded in classical French food, Michel has embraced other influences, most notably Japanese and Italian, thanks to his journeys and experience from abroad. Michel's cooking is contemporary _ innovative and curious with light, fresh and sharp flavours.
